Editors' Meeting
The 13th official editors' meeting occurred on Sunday. It was our most efficient meeting to date, and we are excited about the streamlining which Perigee is undergoing. Along with our application for 501(c)(3) status from the Feds, we are shifting roles internally in order to bring you the best publication possible. Primarily, this involves new individual focuses for each of the editors.
Robert is now the Managing Editor. A small change from Editor in Chief, but an important one: it is hard to deal with the numerous submissions and also handle the inner and outer workings of the publication. Now Robert can focus on the managerial aspects and leave much of the literary decisions in the very capable hands of the editors. Robert is still responsible for the web design, and he thanks everyone for their continued enthusiasm regarding Perigee's web site layout (although, as an artist, he is eager to change it . . . and resisting the urge). He has also been named President of the board of directors.
Sue remains Advisory and Contributing editor. Her input and advice have shaped Perigee from the very first issue and she is integral to our continued success. She has also been named Vice President of the board of directors.
Jensea officially takes the poetry reigns, as Poetry Editor. This is a very important role, since the majority of submissions to Perigee come as verse. Our confidence in her aptitude for the craft is reflected in our decision to give her first say on what is included in this coveted section of Perigee.
John, sadly, had to bid farewell to Perigee last month. Other duties demanded his attention, and we are sad to lose him. Consequently, Perigee is hitting the pavement for a new fiction editor (know a good one?). In the meantime Robert—whose fiction is beginning to appear regularly in a growing number of literary magazines—will fill that role with the help of the Advisory Editor. We wish John, our Honorary Editor, all the best.
It may not look like a nutshell, but it's the closest we've got. Check back soon for a list of the contributors to our upcoming issue.
And of course, don't forget to read the new issue (free of charge) on the 15th.
